As winters are here and I am looking for everything that keep my family warm and keep them away from cold.

Thus I just googled and came across a very nice site www.finecraftguild.com where I found handmade rugs and couldn't resist to share all these with my blog readers. Here are some nice rugs.

Lot of things to do.....art, craft & decor ideas are what I think day in and day out. Just waiting for right time when all my craft material will be with me....as I'm staying in Pune and all my things lying back in Delhi, where I spent 3 yrs.
Once I get all that I need to start my passion then I'll keep posting interesting things one by one.
Waiting desperately for my colors, brushes, hardboards, clays, glue and lot of things.
As of now enjoy some Diwali clicks..............
